Our Mystery KAL is officially back for year three! We’re knitting a top-down round yoke sweater (or a steeked cardigan) together over seven weekly clues, kicking off on January 16th. This year, we’re leaning into stash-busting, so feel free to start hunting through your yarn collection now. You can get all the details on the Ravelry pattern page or here on Skool in the dedicated Classroom where I’ll also be posting all the relevant video tutorials as clues become available. We’d love for you to jump in and share your yarn picks, questions, and progress photos. Just use the "MYAL 2026" category for your posts. Heads up: we aren’t doing spoiler alerts this time, so feel free to post away in whatever way you like just as long as it is in that category! I can’t wait to see what you all come up with this year.

It’s very frustrating, I’ve been away from home since I signed up for the KAL I’ve been separated from my stash! I’m now back and I think I’m there. I need to do lots of swatching now to make sure I can get a consistent gauge. Any thoughts?

I think these will work. Thoughts, suggestions, critique welcomed!

Excited to embark on this new journey of discovery in knitting and stashbusting. This is a mix of mostly cotton; silk, cashmere, linen blends. The paler peachy shades are a thinnish DK, so I'll double them with the Simply Recycled beige yarn for my A colour. The variegated cotton/silk/viscose is colour B. The darks are C, with a bit of astrakhan for texture. The mauve cotton aran will be extra A as needed and the D framing as I've got a lot of it, frogged from another fairisle project that has been a WIP for over ten years! @Zanete Hussain what do you think of this yarn pile? Will using mostly cottons be ok? I'm looking at this as an autumn/spring jumper as I already have Icelandic and fairisle winter jumpers.

Hi, I’ve got some merino75%\nylon25% left overs in fingering I could hold double to hit gauge. I’ve got some different colours I could do with your help to chose please. I’m pretty sure the slightly off-white will be colour A but I’m not sure about the rest of the colour palette. There is a purple-leaning brown that knitted up lovely that I think could pair with a dusty blue, a more vibrant light purple or a dusty rose colour and then I’ve also got a lovely light green I could use as a blending colour with either the forest green or a beautiful marled green/blue. I’ve taken black and white photos for contrast so think I’m ok there. Which are your favourites please? I’m not great with colours generally and would appreciate some more pairs of eyes and opinions but I’m leaning more to the last picture (marled green and light green)
